WORTH IT$8,250
So I am 8 post op and things have been going so so. I gained some weight due to some hormonal issues I had going on(I was working out and eating right everyday). We got those taken care of and I am back on losing. I gained 20 lbs from my pre op and now I am lower from pre op by two lbs. I had actually got down past pre op by month 4 by 8 lbs. Anyways pre op I was a size 14 comfortably a size 12 depending on the jean. I am now a comfy 12 almost an 11. My thighs and butt are so much bigger probably due to the weight gain.
I was suppose to go back in October I believe for my last post op appt and I never went. I was disappointed in the weight gain,I was ashamed and just not happy at that point. I skipped so many things and kinda hid at home for a bit. My scaring is dark and puffy still around the belly button and along the tummy. I have a spot were it looks like it relaxed to much on my hips that I am not happy with. I am pretty sure if I do a revision on that area I am liable for the cost but that is out of the question right now and that is not happening this soon after the holidays.
I am at a loss. I am not sure what to do if I should go ahead make an appt and go in and see the PS and explain everything or just say screw it. Now my other battle is my arms...body improvement the never ending story

August 1st-11 weeks and some days.
I had a ps appt on Saturday and he showed me what was muscle and what was one(I thought what was muscle was fat and it's not) He said I am as tight as I am going to get I will just get more defined. I mentioned I was dong ab work and he said that was a no no to top. Work on cardio and lower leg stuff. Im healing great I got the okay to swim. I am still in the binder for another 6 weeks to 3 months because I still have a lot of swelling(from doing to much). Over all I am happy with everything. There are some things now that I want to work on but I have to do it not the DR. so I have started that now.

Yep the indentation went away. I gained a little bit of weight and it went away so I am a little afraid to start losing haha. I have an appt at the end of this month. I will see what he says.

Today was a huge huge day for me LOL. I was able to run 1.6 miles(not my normal 3-4 miles). I was not happy about that but when I sat and looked at how far out of surgery I am and all the post op do's and dont's being given and then taken away because of my stubbornness, I changed my outlook. I ran more then someone sitting on the couch, plus I had very little amount of swelling that was gone with in a few hours. I am only 9 weeks out and I stayed on my healthy eating. I am going to do some light kettlebell work out tonight to gage how I feel for future work outs. I am hoping this fat on my stomach goes away and that my thighs slim down now. I did find it easier to run with out the hanging skin on the front of me and just that alone was a big thing to me. It made me feel some what lighter and more free.
I am still not into my pre surgery clothes (jeans that is) or shorts for that matter. I am afraid to even try it right now. I am 1 lb over my surgery weight but I have been doing strength training little amounts at a time like 2-3 times a week so that could just be muscle or fluid or anything for that matter because just a week and half ago I was down by 5 lbs.
